In a Tuesday interview with the New York Times, Senator Rand Paul finally admitted that he sort of fucked up with this whole plagiarism controversy. Until now, the Kentucky Junior Senator has been defensive and downright hostile when confronted with the fact that his staff has repeatedly taken portions of articles (from Wikipedia and various right-wing think tanks) and used them without attribution in Paul’s speeches and op-eds. Now, he’s admitted the error, but don’t get to excited — he’s still acting like a big fucking baby about it.
From the New York Times:
“What we are going to do from here forward, if it will make people leave me the hell alone, is we’re going to do them like college papers,” he said. “We’re going to try to put out footnotes.” He said that “we have made mistakes,” but that they had “never been intentional.”
Sorry, Senator Paul. The point of holding office is answering to a constituency, not being left “the hell alone.”
But on the topic of Paul holding office, the Senator has more flouncing to do!
